It's a bizarre world we live in
There was a strange story in The Gulf News last week about one man's, err, how shall we describe it - 'fondness' for a camel (not a drug runner and no, I'm not supplying the URL, I will leave you to your own devices in terms of tracking it down) but not to be outdone, today we have news of a Queensland employee who is being investigated for allegedly stealing parts of human brains from a forensic laboratory to be injected into racehorses to make them run faster.

Perhaps best to just conclude with "it sure is a strange world we live in".

Full story at following URL (brains not camels).
